There were stray dogs and cats in every city.
This wasn’t the fault of the animals but of the humans.
While many people hate stray dogs and cats, but these were pitiful lives that were abandoned by humans. Maybe they were the ones that knew what they thought about humans.
One thing was for sure when someone took care of them, they would trust you and get close to you.
Maybe this was one’s natural ability to go towards things that are good for you. Undeniably, animals remembered those who treated them well.
In this city, there were also many animals like this that were abandoned.
Ye Zhongming’s district had many such stray dogs. When he was at home, Bai Sisi and would always head down to feed them.
They didn’t have money to buy dog food so they could only use leftover rice and vegetables but these stray dogs didn’t mind. Each time they would finish them all and then wag their tails and the couple.
In exchange, each time the two of them went to class or came home from class, stray dogs would accompany them. They would jump around them and look very close and warm. After sending them to school or back, these stray dogs would then happily run away.
Ye Zhongming was already used to such scenes in the last life, just that after ten years of the apocalypse, such memories started to get blur.
At this point, he felt that this dog looked familiar but he couldn’t recall. After all, he had revived and his memories were ten years past this point so he forgot about many things.
But when this dog expressed closeness to him, Ye Zhongming finally remembered. This was one that Bai Sisi and him often fed. It often accompanied them to class which was why Ye Zhongming remembered it. Sometimes when he came home late, he was still able to see it waiting for him and the corner of the street.
“Is it really you Yellow Ball?”
Bai Sisi gave it the name because its fur was yellow and as it was a stray, it ended up greyish in color.
Ye Zhongming bent down and touched its head before giving out his first natural smile since reviving.
Yellow Ball was also very happy, closing its eyes and enjoying Ye Zhongming’s love. It then rolled over to reveal its stomach to him. Ye Zhongming also habitually rubbed that area.
This was a dog showing trust to you, revealing its softest part for you.
Such a situation stunned the four behind him. This should be a battle but why did it end up as an owner meeting its pet again?
Her gun instinctively aimed at Ye Zhongming’s back. This was because she doubted the real relationship between the dog and this guy.
Yellow Ball who was enjoying Ye Zhongming’s scratches suddenly jumped up and roared at the cop. If not for the door being narrow and Ye Zhongming blocking it, the dog would have charged to protect him.
The change in situation shocked Ye Zhongming too. He turned around at the female cop and said slowly, “I know this dog, I fed it before so it is safe. You can put the gun down.”
After which, he looked at the cop and then walked towards the silver light. This was his goal today.
“Wait!”
The guy with the nasal voice stopped and walked near the door. When he saw the fierce Yellow Ball did he stop and even retreated a step in fear, “What are you doing? We noticed that thing and it belongs to us.”
“Right, it is ours. You should bring the dog and leave.”
The brother of the dead person helped out. It was obvious that they wanted that silver thing.
The other guy called Lin Li stood beside them and had the same thought as them.
Only that cop frowned and didn’t say anything.
Ye Zhongming turned around and said solemnly, “If I didn’t come would you all enter so easily? My relationship with this dog solved the danger so now it has nothing to do with me?”
Ye Zhongming held his blade and stood there like a mountain. This aura shocked those three guys.
“Without you we would also be able to deal with the dog, don’t forget that we have a gun!”
The guy with a nasal voice said once more. He looked at the girl and then back at Ye Zhongming. The word gun could indeed threaten many civilians.
Ye Zhongming burst out laughing, “Then why didn’t you object when I walked to the front? If you didn’t need me then why didn’t you walk at the front?”
The guy shook his head and looked at him like he was a fool, “Who knows if you are a team with this dog? We want you to give us an answer!”
“Right, police catch him. He is a murderer.”
The brother of the dead guy scolded Ye Zhongming, his gaze would also glance at the silver light.
“Kill the dog first!” Lin Li pointed at the dog and wanted the female cop to fire.
Ye Zhongming laughed coldly. Such tones and expressions of greed were too common in the apocalypse. It was just the start so things weren’t too bad. Once these people got stronger, their greed won’t just be in their expressions and tones but in their fists and weapons.
“This… There is no proof this has to do with him.” She frowned and maintained her professionalism. This gained some of Ye Zhongming’s praise.
But Ye Zhongming who definitely wanted the key wouldn’t put all his hopes on this female cop. He closed the door and at the same time, he stuck close to it to avoid her shooting angle.
What was surprising was that Yellow Ball did a similar action just that he hid the other side. This made him even more certain that the dog was about to mutate.
Those outside weren’t ready for Ye Zhongming’s sudden action. They thought that things were settled because they had a gun but who knew that he would fight back?
Ye Zhongming bent down and used his hands to carry up the corpse to block the bottom of the door. Before he heard a gunshot, he pounced to grab the silver light and then he whistled at Yellow Ball. He then bent his right leg to hint at the ceiling above.
There was a huge hole which should be where the Secret Realm Key came in from.
Yellow Ball understood. Its strong four legs pushed against the ground and it stepped on Ye Zhongming’s leg to jump up. Its two front claws hooked onto the side of the hole.
Ye Zhongming jumped and also tugged at Yellow Ball’s body to pull it up.
With a peng, the door was knocked open. The cop led the three guys in but what they saw was a black shadow flying out and hitting her gun. The thing the four of them were relying on instantly flew out.
